Factories and petrol stations
As with takeaway and restaurant odour, smell from factories can be dealt with by working responsibly and using the right extraction and filtration equipment.
We cannot take action against premises that hold a permit under the Pollution Prevention & Control Act 1999. This is because the permit will contain a number of conditions on odour control. Each process will have at least one annual inspection to check these conditions are being obeyed.
To see if premises have a permit, please check our online Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control public register.
If you have a concern about odour from a premises that holds a permit please contact us.
